[Configobj-develop] configobj 5.0.4 on Linux

[Mario A. <ma...@se...>]

I'm trying to use 'configobj' but not having much success:
(1) It appears that validate() ALWAYS returns True, even if my config 
file does not conform to spec.
(2) If I repeat one of the sub-sections in the "many" section I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./config.py", line 7, in <module>
     config = ConfigObj(infile="foo.cfg", configspec="foo.spec")
   File "/home/glarms/python/site-packages/configobj.py", line 1229, in 
__init__
     self._load(infile, configspec)
   File "/home/glarms/python/site-packages/configobj.py", line 1318, in 
_load
     raise error
configobj.ConfigObjError: Parsing failed with several errors.
First error at line 14.

Attached is my (simple) example program, config and spec files.
Any help would be much appreciated.
